RECEPTACLE.

Application filed July 28, 1926, Serial No.

provide a structure dnlicnlt to turn over.

Still another object is to provide a receiver which, even when reversed,does not permit. the matter contained therein to be spilled.

Further objects will appear in the course of the detailed descriptionwhich will nowbe given with reference to the accompanying drawing, inwhich': Fig. 1 represents a vertical section through an ash receiverembodying the invention.

Fig. 2 is a plan view ot the same. Figs. 3 and 4 illustrate the devicehalf and entirely inverted.

Figs. 5 and 6 illustrate in perspective and in section a second form ofreceiver.

Referring to the Figspl to 4, there is shown a storing receptacle 1,having the form of a cup, fitted with a correspondent cover member 2.Members 1 and 2 may be joined by any convenient means, advantageously bya frictional fit 3 or by means permitting members being screwed onto oneanother. Cover member 2 is spun or othera wise formed to provide afunnel member 4' and, if desired, recesses 5 for holding cigars,cigarettes or pipes. The apparatus is completed by a receivingreceptacle 6 of conical or, preferably, of paraboloidic form riveted orotherwise fastened to 1 at 7. .To increase the stability of the device,and to permitit returning more or less automatically to its normalposition when brought out of the latter, amass of lead or simi ar heavmaterial 8 may be placed in the bottom 0 1, and, for a similar purpose,a disc of rubber 9 may be provided under said bottoni.

The manner in which the device ofiarates when utilizedas anash receiveris as fol lows:

The ashes are as ordinarily put in the aperture of cover 2 and then theyfall in the 125,382, and in France December 11, 1925 receptacle 6 wherethey remain until the receiver isinverted. At this moment, the ashesslide along the wall A B (Fig. 3) as the turning movement begins, strikeagainst surface C l) as the turning movement is increased, (Fig. 4) andlodge themselves in.compartment .1) E F when the apparatus has beencompletely turned over (Fig. 4). When the receiver is turned back to itsnormal position, the ashes drop from D E 1* into, the annular spacebetween receptacles 1 and (l. Receptacle 6 is thus emptied and presentsa clean appearance to the eye. Each of the surfaces (l I), l) E and E Fforming the cover member 2 have a definite function: I) 0 guides theashes into receptacle 6 and serves to deflect the former tmvard D E Fwhen the device is inverted; I) E F serves as a storing compartment forthe ashes primarily nut in receptacle 1; I) E, which is preferaily inline with wall A B of receptacle (3, serves to deflect the ashes so thatthe latter do not fall back into same receptacle (3 or fall out ofreceiver when the latteris brought back from its inverted to 1ts normalposition.

. The proportion of the various parts of the '(Fig. 1). Distance 1;.(Fig. 1) between points D should be equal to or greater than 3 m; 0, thediameter of receptacle 1 should be equal to or greater than the sum of'n. and 2 m; p, the diameter of receptacle 6 should be equal to orgreater than 3 m and equal to or less than n. The opening of funnel 4and the top of receptacle 6 should lie'in approximately the same plane,for eliminating danger of spilling of the ashes when a large quantity ofthe latter has been introduced into 'storingreceptacle 1. The height ofthe various parts of the apparatus may berfixed arbitranly.

In the modification shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a semicylindrical storingreceptacle 10 is mounted on trunnions 11. The ash receptacle 12 extendslongitudinally inside receptacle '10 and receives the ashes throughlongitudinal guides 13. Baflles 14 are provided to deflect the ashesfrom12 into 10 when the device is turnedover and to prevent their hereindescribed devicehas been principally designed as an ash receiver, itsuse is not necessarily limited as such a receiver. It may be employed aswell as a spittoon, as a receiver for refuse or wherever it is desiredto periodically remove from view unsightly material to be collected in areceptacle.

It may also be combined with means for periodically turning it overautomatically.

What I claim is 1. In a device of the class described, a storingreceptacle, a receiving receptacle contained therein, and means fordirecting the content of the receiving'receptacle' into the storingreceptacle when said storing and receiving receptacles are turned over.

2. In a device of the class described, a storing receptacle, a receivingreceptacle contained therein, and guiding means for direct.- in materialinto said receiving receptacle,

said guiding means being formed so as to direct the content of thereceiving receptacle into the storing receptacle when said storing andreceiving receptacles are turned over;

3. In a device of the class described, a storing receptacle, a receivingreceptacle contained therein, and guiding means for directing materialto be ,deposited into said receiving receptacle, said guiding meansbeing formed so as to direct'the content of the receiving receptacleinto the storing receptacle when 'said storingand receiving receptaclesare inverted, said guiding means being further formed so as to preventreentry of thecontent of the storing receptacle 'the level of the top ofsai into the receiving receptacle and the falling out of same contentthrou h'the aperture 0t the/storing receptacle w en the device is turnedfrom the inverted to the normah -member coacting with said body member,

said cover member being formed so as to provide guiding means formaterial to be deposited in said receiving receptacle.

7 5. In a device of the class described, a body member formed so asitoconstitute a storing receptacle, a receiving receptacle coiitainedwithin said body member, and a cover .member coacting with said bodymember,

said cover member being formed so as '0 provide guiding means formaterial tr deposited in said receiving receptacle, said guiding meansterminatin substantially at 5 receiving receptacle. I

6.'In a device of the class described, a body member formed toconstitute a storing receptacle, a pair of trunnicns connected to saidbody member, a receiving receptacle supported within said body member,and a cover member comprising means for guiding material into saidreceiving receptacle and means for diverting the,c0ntents of said receiving receptacle into said storing receptacle when the device isturned upon its trunnions. a

-In testimony whereof I afiixed my signature.
